Mount Scholarships

The Mount has announced exciting new scholarship increases and a
new scholarship!

Academic Scholarships for incoming freshmen (2014-2015)

Mount Saint Mary College offers scholarships based on the merit
of a student's academic achievements and full-time (12+
credits/semester) traditional attendance. We award scholarships
upon acceptance, and they are renewable for three years, or eight
academic semesters in total. Students must maintain good academic
standing and full-time status to receive the scholarship.

You may be eligible for additional grants and scholarships based
on need, rather than academic qualifications. Be sure to include
the Mount's Title IV school code, 002778, on your
FAFSA, and you will automatically be evaluated for all need-based
funds that the Mount has to offer.

Leadership Scholarships

Leadership Scholarships are awarded to matriculating,
full-time freshmen who have demonstrated leadership abilities
through high school and community experiences. Award recipients
will be required to engage in a co-curricular, campus experience in
exchange for the leadership scholarship, which can be up to $2,500
per academic year. These campus experiences may include
student newspaper, yearbook, radio station, pep band, event
marketing, and student government. All leadership experiences,
with the exception of athletic ability or participation, will be
considered.

Donor Scholarships

Mount Saint Mary College offers a number of private scholarships
each year. The Admissions application and FAFSA are used to
determine eligible recipients based upon criterion established by
the donor. Read more about Donor
Scholarships.

Need-Based Grants

These institutional grants are awarded on a competitive basis
and may reflect academic excellence, as well as demonstrated
financial need. The level of grant assistance depends upon the
quality of the student’s academic record, the amount of financial
need, the availability of funds, and full-time traditional
enrollment. Renewal requires students to continue to
demonstrate financial need, as defined by the FAFSA each year, and
maintain good academic standing.
